Chapter 315 : She Didn't Poison Him
"Then I'll trouble the Sima family head to take care of it."
This Sima family head, with his fat head and big ears, and shifty eyes, looked like an untrustworthy character. To prevent any mishaps, she added with a leisurely smile before leaving, "Oh, I almost forgot to inform the family head, keep your mouth in check. It's best not to spread word of today's events, especially to the ears of the Quan family... Otherwise, I can't guarantee the family head will live to see tomorrow's sun."
"What you fed me earlier! It was poison..." The family head's face changed drastically. He tried to use his divine power to expel the poison pill, but to no avail. He was utterly despondent.
"Don't worry, once the matter is settled, I'll naturally give you the antidote."
"Sang Sang, do you really plan to go to the Quan family?" Mystic Spirit's voice came in her mind, carrying concern and worry.
She had just ascended not long ago. Going to challenge the Quan family like this seemed too much like a moth flying into flames. If things went wrong, she could die without a burial place.
"Whether I go early or late, I must go. This Quan family, I must visit them. Might as well go and test the waters first, to make plans for the future."
In this short day, she could feel her power reviving. Her previous power had been suppressed below the lower realm's limit. After returning to the divine realm, she finally felt like she truly belonged here.
When her power fully revived, she might not be inferior to that Second Young Master of the Quan family.
She didn't have many virtues, but she was honest and always kept her word.
She had said she would go to the Quan family and take down that scoundrel. It would be either his death or hers.
Turning the world upside down, leaving no peace.
All the suffering the Spirit Abyss Continent had endured, she would return in full to those who had caused harm.
If the Upper Realm wouldn't let the Lower Realm live well, then she wouldn't let the Upper Realm live well. Using their own methods against them, nothing wrong with that, right?
"Mm, Sang Sang can feel free to do what she wants. I will protect Sang Sang well," Mystic Spirit said with a smile.
"Are those two still sleeping?"
Since coming to the Upper Realm, the spirits of the Primordial Soul-Chaser and Karma Burns the Three Realms had been in a dormant state. Chu Sang had tried summoning them, but they couldn't awaken.
These two weapons were top-tier divine artifacts in the lower realm, but strictly speaking, they didn't count as true divine artifacts. From the Upper Realm's perspective, they could only be considered sub-divine artifacts, products not belonging to the Upper Realm. It was understandable that their spirits were limited and unable to awaken in the Upper Realm.
She needed to find time to reforge these two divine artifacts.
Although Chu Sang had learned some artifact forging techniques from Su Chen'an before, she had only forged weapons at the spirit tool level, not even having much experience with immortal tools. The probability of error was too high. She didn't dare to rashly experiment on her two divine artifacts, and finding new forging materials would also take time. She could only wait for a while before considering this issue.
"In a month, the Quan family will have a banquet. I will attend then. If you really plan to go to the Quan family, you... you can disguise yourself as one of my attendants and find a chance to enter," the Sima family head's voice interrupted her thoughts.
This method was feasible. Chu Sang thought for a moment and then asked, "Do you have any divine artifacts that can conceal one's appearance?"
After injuring that Second Young Master of the Quan family, she didn't know how the entire Upper Realm might be searching for her. Causing trouble with this face might somewhat damage her reputation, although she didn't have much of a reputation to speak of. However, multiple identities provided multiple layers of protection, so it was better to have several identities for cover.
Unfortunately, the illusion techniques and human skin masks she had learned were too easily seen through in the Upper Realm. She could only ask if the local deities of the Upper Realm had other methods.
"This..." At first, the family head was hesitant, clearly not wanting to invite more trouble for himself and reluctant to hand over the item. After being threatened by Chu Sang, he was so frightened that he quickly handed it over. It was a mask-like divine artifact. When worn, it could freely transform one's appearance. Its function was similar to the Thousand Faces, but the materials used were clearly much better. It could be worn for long periods, even for a lifetime, without the risk of skin damage.
It was a good disguise artifact.
"The strength among deities varies greatly. This mask can't guarantee to block all deities, but most deities should be unable to see through it."
"That's fine, it's enough."
"Then... can you give me the antidote now?" The family head asked anxiously. He had honestly arranged everything according to her instructions, even freely giving her a superior divine artifact. Surely it was time to give him the antidote?!
The Sima family head wasn't a good person, but Chu Sang wasn't one to break her word either. She nodded with a smile, "What are you saying, family head? As long as our transaction is complete, I naturally won't harm you."
She handed over a bottle of pills, containing only one. The Sima family head quickly took it, then heard a leisurely voice in his ear,
"However, as I said before, I can only give you the complete antidote after I've finished everything. Take this antidote once a month, and it will ensure your safety for that month. After taking it three times, the poison in your body will be completely eliminated."
"You!"
"Oh, I almost forgot to advise the family head one more thing. This pill is my own creation, fusing into the blood colorless, odorless, and silently. No one can detect it, so it's not easy to neutralize. So don't think about secretly finding someone to detoxify you. Keep your mouth shut, don't let the news leak out. I'll come find you again in a month."
After arranging all this and leaving the Sima mansion, Mystic Spirit curiously asked, "Are pills from the lower realm effective in the Upper Realm? Can they really threaten the Sima family head? Sang Sang, aren't you worried he might betray you halfway?"
He knew Chu Sang could refine pills, but he didn't expect her pill refining skills to be so advanced. Could she really control even the deities of the Upper Realm?
"Of course... they're not effective," Chu Sang shrugged. "So I didn't poison him at all."
No matter how hard the Sima family head tried, even if he searched all the famous doctors in the city, he definitely wouldn't find any symptoms in his body.
As they say, the poison you can't see is the most terrifying poison.
That family head is probably scared half to death by now, where would he have the mind to secretly inform on her?
"You tricked him," Mystic Spirit shook his head. This person was too foolish.
"I never said I fed him a poison pill. He assumed that himself. I just went along with what he was saying."
Chu Sang waved her hands innocently. It was a bit underhanded, but not too much. As long as it worked.
She contacted the pair of sisters she had saved earlier.
Before parting ways, considering that she had just arrived in the Upper Realm and was isolated without support, she might need their help. So she had added them to her communication jade disc to ask if there was any kind of archive or library in this place.
She hadn't joined any sect or family and didn't belong to any faction, so she couldn't get any resource support. The fastest way to grow was through learning—this principle applied in any era. She wanted to find an archive to properly supplement her knowledge of the Upper Realm, preferably a public archive with as many resources as possible.
